Surpised others didn't catch your sarcasm. My contention isn't that they are edited, or really to the degree that they are, it's that they are both highly edited and empty of interesting subject matter combined. I think this makes the editing stand out more as a negative as opposed to if they were this edited and also had highly interesting scenes or subjects. Obviously all extremely subjective but street photography already has a running meme of people photographing people's backs or from far away.
